That is simply not what Haidt has found, namely that of six moral values, the three moral values liberals hold to overlap the six conservatives hold to, iow, they share three, but liberals lack three more, and that is why they fail to comprehend what conservatives say and are intolerant.

You defended Haidt: "This guy, Jonathan Haidt, is one of the best social researchers and commentators I have seen." I'm just showing you what he actually says.

As I said, I admire his work in explaining why conservatives think as they do.

I did not say I necessarily agreed with him.

See above.

Come sit down beside me I said to myself
And although it doesn't make sense
I held my own hand as a small sign of trust
And together I sat on the fence

You didn't really understand his work. And if you needed to seek help in explaining how people who disagree with you think it says a lot about you. Little of it's good.

Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

IOW, you admire him where you agree and despise him where you disagree. That's like truthmatters using lie for what she disagrees with and truth for what she agrees with. Is there no introspection in that head of yours?

Again, it's een demonstrated that you didn't quite get the argument, mate, and I never said you agreed with it. How could you?

The true sign of a conservative. "You cannot understand something unless you agree with it".

You have just demonstrated why Haidt is wrong.
